Description and Table of Contents

Description

Discussed in this book are the nature, origin, activity and control of the poisonous metabolites of moulds known as mycotoxins. This important area of applied mycology has ramifications throughout the world and it is essential that a fundamental understanding of the nature of mycotoxins should be widely disseminated so that rational judgements can be made when society is faced with problems of contaminated food and animal feeds. The basic science (mycology, biochemistry, chemistry and agriculture) is provided, but the book emphasises the multidisciplinary nature of research on disease and illness caused by mycotoxins and attempts to relate both to the applied aspects of analysis, control and diagnosis.
